The WVU Department of Neurosurgery provides advanced care to adults and children with disorders of the brain carotid and vertebral arteries, pituitary gland, spine and spinal cord, cranial and spinal nerves, and autonomic nervous system.
Expert treatment is given for spinal degenerative disease, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, neoplasms, and trauma.
Our faculty include highly skilled surgeons at the forefront of new techniques in skull-base surgery, advanced stroke care, epilepsy surgery, pediatric neurosurgery, neuro-oncology and pain and functional disorders.
State-of-the-art equipment
WVU’s Center for Advanced Imaging offers state-of-the-art equipment that enables surgeons to diagnose and treat problems with a high degree of accuracy. This includes PET and a 3-Tesla MRI, twice as powerful as former MRIs. Three-dimensional angiography allows for better visualizations of complex aneurysms. Other equipment includes a surgical aspirator and an 80-watt laser.
The Gamma Knife uses focused radiation to destroy lesions with a high degree of accuracy, while avoiding damage to surrounding tissue.
Advanced techniques
Our surgeons are skilled in the latest microsurgical techniques to treat aneurysms and AVMs, as well as pituitary, acoustic and skull-base tumors in difficult-to-reach areas. Working with interventional neuroradiologists, some lesions can be treated via endovascular approaches.
Patients can benefit from advanced new treatments, including those in clinical trials.
